Google Acquires Photo-editing Site Picnik
Picnik features a Flash-powered interface that lets you tweak, crop, and touch-up your photos in your Web browser
Google announced its latest acquisition on Monday, the online image editing service Picnik. In Google's own words, Picnik was "one of the first sites to bring photo editing to the cloud."
Picnik features a Flash-powered interface that lets you tweak, crop, and touch-up your photos in your Web browser, avoiding the need to launch Photoshop, iPhoto, or your other favorite photo-editing software. The site already integrates with Google's photo-sharing site Picasa, along with Facebook, Flickr, Yahoo Mail, and Photobucket.
A blog post on Picnik says that support for all the non-Google sites will remain. Google says it's not planning any big changes to the site, and plans, instead, to focus on new features.
"We're not announcing any significant changes to Picnik today, though we'll be working hard on integration and new features," Google said.
